Everyone knows that the creatures of the outside world are forbidden by magic to enter the land of Een. That's why Kendra Kandlestar is so surprised when a giant Unger arrives in the middle of the night to deliver a cryptic message: if she can find the Door to Unger, she will be able to unlock the truth about her long-lost family. But when Kendra finds herself trekking through the wilderness with a magic-peddling faun and a rebellious Unger, she begins to wonder if it's all just a clever trap to lead her into the heart of danger. Whom can Kendra trust?
